Fragrance Notes
The first impression, and usually the lightest part of the fragrance. These notes evaporate first, which is how a fragrance is built to open.
As well as the top notes fading, your nose adapts to a constant scent and stops registering it, while people nearby still smell it. Smell your wrist after leaving the room, or ask someone close.

Orientica Melodie De Luxury Eau de Parfum 90ml opens with neroli, petitgrain, red fruits and bergamot, moving into an orange blossom, jasmine, cardamom, rose and cinnamon heart before settling on marshmallow, vanilla, musk and praline. The spiced floral heart bridges a citrus opening and a gourmand, dessert-like base.
The opening is citrus-forward with a fruity lift: neroli and petitgrain give a bittersweet, slightly green orange-blossom character, bergamot adds brightness, and red fruits bring a juicy, berry-like sweetness that softens the citrus edge, so the top reads as tart and floral together rather than a plain citrus splash. That opening moves into a busy, layered heart - orange blossom and jasmine continue the white-floral theme from the top, while rose adds a fuller, petal-driven sweetness alongside them, thickening the floral core considerably. Cardamom and cinnamon cut through the florals with warm spice, keeping the heart from settling into a purely sweet floral bouquet and instead giving it a spiced, slightly exotic edge that stops the composition from reading as a simple white-floral scent. The base is where the fragrance turns gourmand: marshmallow and praline bring a soft, toasted sugar sweetness, vanilla rounds everything out with its familiar warmth, and musk pulls the sweeter notes into a smooth, wearable finish rather than letting them sit too heavy or cloying on skin. The scent shape runs from bright and fruity, through spiced florals, into a soft, dessert-like close, with the cardamom and cinnamon acting as the hinge between the citrus opening and the sweet base, and the amount of moving parts in the heart is what keeps the fragrance feeling layered rather than linear.
Neroli, petitgrain, red fruits and bergamot fade fastest, giving way within the opening stretch to the orange blossom, jasmine, cardamom, rose and cinnamon heart. This is the busiest and longest stage of the wear, with the spices keeping the white florals and rose from ever feeling flat or one-dimensional, and cinnamon in particular lingering alongside the florals well into the middle hours, occasionally pushing forward ahead of the jasmine and rose before settling back beside them. As that heart begins to fade, marshmallow and praline start to show through, softening the spiced florals into something sweeter and rounder, and the shift from spice-forward to sugar-forward is one of the more noticeable transitions in the wear. By the final stretch, vanilla and musk take over fully, and what began as a bright, spiced citrus-floral has settled into a warm, sweet, close-to-skin finish that reads far softer than the fragrance's opening hours. The composition moves gradually rather than in sharp stages, with each layer overlapping the next for a while before fully taking over, which gives the wear a sense of continuity from the fruity top through to the dessert-like close.
No gender voting data was supplied for this fragrance, so it is presented as unisex. The citrus-fruity opening, spiced floral heart and gourmand marshmallow-vanilla base draw on notes worn across genders, without a structure that leans decisively toward either, and the sweetness of the base does not read as gendered on its own.
Melodie De Luxury suits anyone who wants a spiced floral that finishes sweet rather than sharp - the cardamom and cinnamon heart adds warmth without overpowering the florals, and the marshmallow-vanilla base makes it an easy fit for cooler weather and evening wear.

Wide range of budget friendly to relatively high end priced perfume brands. Rayhan, Armaf, French Avenue, Brandy, Lattafa just to mention a few. They also sell a 10ml of any brand you like, good for testing before you commit to the whole bottle.
This store reminds me of my days in Dubai. Prices are competitive and most probably the best I have found on the market. Amazing perfumes!
Shahed was very welcoming and friendly… He was knowledgeable about the perfumes and took the time to understand what I was looking for before recommending a fragrance that suited my preferences perfectly.
What a good find! A place where you can smell all the Dubai perfumes. Monique assisted us and she was very helpful. Will see you soon!
Customer service 10/10. Tamzyn helped me she was very nice energetic and helpful… when I heard the price I had to take it. So very affordable in my opinion.
The quality of the fragrances is outstanding. The oils and perfumes are impressive and has longevity… I will definitely be returning and recommending this shop to others.
He was very helpful and friendly as I did not have a clue of what I wanted to get for my mom… It smells very nice. I got compliments at work… I would recommend people to go here.
